Instructions
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add rice, sausage, celery and onion; cook, stirring, for 2 min. Add water. Whisk flour and Cajun seasoning into milk; gradually stir into skillet. Bring just to a simmer, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer gently for 15 to 20 min or until rice is almost tender.
Gently stir in green and red peppers; cover and simmer for 5 min longer or until rice is tender and peppers are tender-crisp. Remove from heat.
Sprinkle tomatoes over rice mixture; cover and let stand for 5 min. Stir gently to combine and season with salt to taste. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
Tips
Cooking Tip: To use brown rice in place of white, in a saucepan, bring rice and 2 cups (500 mL) water to a boil; simmer for 12 min. Drain well and proceed with Step 1, adding partially cooked rice after milk mixture.
For the Adventurous: Add 8 oz (250 g) shrimp, peeled and deveined and 1 cup (250 mL) frozen sliced okra (thawed) in step 2 with peppers.
